Team Banded Brothers.

Evening all. Got a set of Dutchy banded steels in my garage that I’m going to be putting on my van but the bolts that I have don’t seem to allow the centre caps to fit on. Does anyone know what type and length bolts I need for them? Cheers

Standard VW wheel bolts are all you need

Standard bolts… the caps can be fiddly to put on but it’s definitely standard bolts

Just to jump in on this question. Also keen to hear from people that know what sealant is best for the inner bead, but also generally what treatment is best for a freshly banded and powercoated set of wheels?

 

[Drew007]

As above any help/info would be much appreciated as I’m mid way through a refurb

Mine isn’t clear it looks more white. That said they have been dipped and blasted and the refurb person tried to take the bead out without consulting me first so the bead isn’t looking the best so i need to take out existing bead and replace asap

 

[fezza68]

Mine looks clear but have been powder coated bronze. Though you can tell the sealent wasnt bronze if that makes sense.

You’re right, they are two different sets of wheels…. it’s just never easy to get any detail in a side on picture with black wheels…. they just look black if you know what I mean? Anyway….

Brothers, as long as the sealant is the type that remains flexible when cured it will do. PU sealant is ideal. Best to degrease/clean the welds before you run a bead of sealer around, just so you get the best adhesion you can, then just finger it into the seams.
You can run masking tape either side of the welds before the sealer to give you nice clean lines afterwards.

Seems to have gone a bit quiet in here lately so I thought I'd post a pic of mine which has just gone back onto banded Amaroks after rolling around on 20" alloys for the last 18 months.

For reference, 8.5" front and 9" rears on 245/45 18.

Nice! What's the ride height/suspension setup?

 

[mattyd247]

It's on Solow NSL's at about 90mm drop.

Chris at the Van Cave fitted them on the day they were released and I can't fault them at all.
